Elly had excellent English fluency – spoke in a way that we could easily understand even with his accent. He was so good with names of animals and birds. Our impression was that he knows a lot and he was willing to share this but not in an arrogant manner. He was humble and servant-like even if at times we were impatient. He always sought to park the jeep in a way that gives us the best view. – we were four senior citizens in his jeep. We had many complaints about the bumpiness of the ride, the dust, the long distances, but Elly was so patient! 🙂 And he was good in warning us of the looooong rides.
“Karen was very helpful in designing our trip and helping with planning: there was hardly anything for us to do in preparation! And our guide Said was a skilled naturalist as well as a capable driver. We came across washed out roads twice in our trip, and Said had no trouble getting us through AND helping others who got stuck!”
